Intelligent systems that can successfully perceive, act, and learn in complex environments hold great potential for aiding society. We seek doctoral students who are curious, creative, and passionate about research to join our school and help advance human knowledge about intelligent systems. • Admitted Ph.D. students can join our program starting in spring of 2023. • You will be mentored by our internationally renowned faculty. • You will conduct your research in either Stuttgart or Tübingen, Germany. • IMPRS-IS offers a wide variety of scientific seminars, workshops, and social activities. • All aspects of our program are in English. • Your doctoral degree will be conferred when you successfully complete your Ph.D. project. • Our dedicated staff members will assist you throughout your time as a doctoral student. People with a strong academic background and a master’s degree (conferred or expected soon) in Engineering, Computer Science, Cognitive Science, Mathematics, Control Theory, Neuroscience, Materials Science, Physics, or related fields should apply. We seek to increase the number of women in areas where they are underrepresented, so we explicitly encourage women to apply. We are committed to employing more handicapped individuals and especially encourage them to apply. We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our institutions. Admission will be competitive. If selected, you will receive funding via an employment contract, subject to the rules of the Max Planck Society and the two participating universities. You can apply at https://imprs.is.mpg.de/application before 11:59 p.m. (23:59) CET on November 1, 2022.
